More about the Rijo Cruiser
This classic is one of a kind. The passion with which this ship has been maintained is evident both on the exterior and in the accommodation. The hull has a very smooth high-gloss paint layer and the paint system gives the whole thing a new look. The teak deck is also in new condition. The steering position offers a generous panoramic view. The spacious and large aft deck promises many convivial moments. The luxurious guard rail is made of high-quality stainless steel. The sophisticated layout of the accommodation has been achieved in part by the years of experience of the builder of this ship. Lots of cupboard space and everything exudes a neat atmosphere. Plenty of daylight and good visibility make sailing a pleasure. The cabins have spacious beds and a practical layout. A cozy layout of the kitchen combined with the lounge makes a meal or dinner on board a pleasant experience. The ship was purchased by us in 2007 and then we started a total re-fit. The windows and the control console have been changed, a new bench, new stainless steel railings, handles, new sliding window, new windows, new anchor and new anchor plate. Furthermore, a completely new swimming platform (water tank) has been made. After that the ship was blasted again, filled and sprayed in the cabin. In 2008 the ship was completely stripped out and a completely new interior was started, new electrical, new teak panelling. The engine was overhauled with hydraulic clutch, new generator (6,5KvA, 1500Rpm) in casing, new Kabola heater with boiler provision, new diesel tanks (450L), Hydrofoor cleaner, 4x 220 AH batteries for power supply. Charging capacity consists of Victron inverter (5000Watt) and 120 AH Charging capacity. The ship is equipped with a bow and stern thruster, 2x 180AH batteries with 25AH Victron charger. The engine is equipped with 2x 90 AH dynamos and 2x 55 AH dry batteries with 10 AH Victron charger. The ship is also equipped with central heating and 2 water-cooled air conditioners. 1x cabin and 1x parents' bedroom, which is also equipped with a double round bed and a television on the ceiling with DVD player. The cabin also has a television that slides away into the cupboard, a complete alarm system for the engine. The kitchen has a combination microwave, a 220V hob, extractor hood, large washing machine, a large refrigerator, and a small refrigerator. There are 6 fixed sleeping places and 3 separate ones. 2x toilets with Johnson electric toilet bowls, connected to a septic tank and can be emptied from outside. 1 shower with heating and unlimited hot water. The water capacity is approx. 1500L-2000L. The decks are fitted with teak floors which were laid in 2009. There are of course a few downsides, the engine room is not ready yet, it still needs to be painted and a few aluminum plates put in. The standing height is 187cm inside. This is a very nice family ship and is completely ready for many years of enjoyable sailing pleasure. The owner is selling the ship to provide additional financial support to his company.
